Trying to revive my old trusty A4000D - please help!

[mattiasw]

Hi!

I am new to this new Amiga scene. I used to be quite familiar with the Amiga OS before but now I feel lost. What can I do to revive my A4000D?

My Amiga biography:

A500 bought in 1988
added a second disk-drive and a huge 512 kB memory. 30 MB HDD was added later.

A2000 bought in 1990/91. Imported a 030 card from the US. Costed a fortune. 4MB extra memory added.

A4000D bought in january 93. CD-ROM added 2x spin wao!

The A2000 and the A4000 was used to host a small local BBS called Moroten, first in Skövde then in Göteborg, Sweden.

So please help me reinstate my A4000 again!

Well it starts but it fails to find ENV: etc...

I don't remember in detail but I use a diskette to load 39 roms from disk I think... It was a couple of years ago since I knew that configuartion.

I'll dismantle it and check the batteries, disk etc tomorrow.

OS 3.9 also good, look at getting a good graphics card unless you want to install a Video Toaster card for some real fun :-D

and get a backup 68040 CPU board as they do fail.
and lastly put a fan in or outside of the case on the left side to keep it cool.

Where is the best place to look for hardware, like 040-card, gfx-card etc, network-card.?
